What Causes Recurring Stomach Infections In An Infant?
My 4 month old daughter s stool test report confirms the presence of mucus, 80-100 hpf pus cells, and 25-30 hpf RBCs. Doctor has prescribed a 7 day course of Oflox 100. However, I read on internet that Oflox has been banned in US. Am a little apprehensive about giving the same to my daughter. Also, my daughter is exclusively breastfed, so what might be the reason for repeated infections, since she had this infection 2 months back also. (She was treated with Walamycin then).

Hi, I absolutely understand your concern. As rightly mentioned Ofloxvis not recommended in a 4month old... The reason for again repeated episode is improper medication. Definitely antibiotics is required... For such a heavy load I would recommend an IV antibiotic than an oral one. So kindly go to another doctor in a hospital set up and take their guidance....
